Our company, GUALINI SPA, is among the leading firms in Italy specialized in the design, engineering, production and installation of windows & curtain walls, with turnovers of €15 million in 2015. Our 26 years of experience within the window and curtain wall industry enabled us to identify the need for effective window profiles, as windows and curtain wall are responsible for about 30-50% of the heat loss of buildings, and current materials used for profiles are ineffective in terms of energy efficiency and/or mechanical properties.
Therefore, we began to developed FIBGLOW,our value proposition for European construction companies, window and curtain wall profiles retailers and installers who require enhanced energy efficient materials for window and curtain walls profiles: based on fiberglass “threads” embedded into a unique inorganic aqueous-based resin, our FIBGLOW profiles present the following outstanding properties: U-value of 0.26 outstanding fire resistance (Euroclass A1), high mechanical properties (Young Modulus of 21.3 GPa) and great durabiltity (38% longer than PVC).
The main objective of our FIBLGOW Project is to enable us, GUALINI S.p.A. to lead the window and curtain wall profile market through the introduction of innovative fiberglass products in the European market, and expand our scope to other countries thanks to the outstanding performance of our profiles compared to products currently in the market.
This is directly related to our financial objective, which is to sensibly grow the business, increasing our current production of 42,000 m2 per year to 132,450 m2 in 2022, of which 25,900 m2 (i.e. a 20%) will be FIBGLOW products, and duplicate our current revenues with sales of these products.
